Re: Companion flowers for vegetable garden

I got a copy of Great garden companions: a companion planting system for a beautiful, chemical-free vegetable garden by Sally Jean Cunningham from the library and am finding it filled with great suggestions of what to plant together, using an uncomplicated system.

She too highly recommends borage, and also tansy. Most of all though I feel encouraged to plant as many varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers together as possible so as to create a fairly complex ecosystem that will attract lots of good guys.
